Default Creepy headlight shadows

Lol, ok they are not so much creepy, but definitely different and never experience this before. I'm hoping some of the site guru may be able to chime in. Situation.....I am a proud owner of headlight with the V4 installed, man what a beautiful site (thanks to Simon aka Guru, lol) I also upgraded the eyebrows, low beam bulb and put a clear lenses in. The craftsmanship is flawless and can't be more satisfied with the service and support . With that said, I was noticing the headlight was casting a shadow in front of the car about 10-15 feet. I wasn't sure if this is normal with the upgrades. The DS1 bulbs were upgraded to 6k (clear len).
I'm not sure if it is was a fix to this or is this something I will have to live with. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. By the way, this forum rocks!!

Thats not cool. Post a pic of the headlight itself lit up and without light. We can compare it to a stocker to see if anything is slightly out of place.

It's a new feature. Your headlights can now outline apparition.
